The notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States in
compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Senior Notes due 2020
will bear interest at an annual rate of 4.25% and the Senior Notes due 2023

proceeds of $1 billion from the sale of the notes before deducting the initial
purchasers' commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses.
SiriusXM intends to use the proceeds of the offerings of the new Senior Notes
for general corporate purposes, which may include, from time to time and as
market conditions warrant, share repurchases and the repurchase, redemption,
defeasance, tender or repayment of its outstanding indebtedness.
Specifically, the company intends to repay all outstanding drawings of $150
million under its revolving credit facility with a portion of the proceeds
from the offerings. Pending application of these amounts as provided above,
the company currently expects to maintain any excess amount as cash on hand.
The securities will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to buy any of
these securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in
any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful.
